Speck Products Now Shipping The SpeckTone Retro Tabletop Speaker System For iPod

June 12, 2006 -- Accent the sleek style of your favorite iPod with the innovative SpeckTone™ Retro, the ultimate tabletop stereo speaker system from Speck Products, now shipping at www.speckproducts.com and other retail partners. The SpeckTone™ Retro is the first in a line of fashionable and functional electronics products that will please even the most discerning gadget enthusiast.

SpeckTone™ Retro looks like nothing you’ve seen for the iPod. The elegance of 1950’s style makes a dramatic statement while enhancing the clean, modern look of the iPod. The all-wood, sonically-tuned speaker cabinet is finished with a lacquered “piano finish,” a gorgeous high-end feature previously available only on speaker sets 5 times the price of the SpeckTone™ Retro.

“We wanted to bring an audio system that was unique and fun to a marketplace saturated with uninspiring, ‘me-too’ speaker design,” said Speck’s General Manager Tim Hickman. “With its nostalgic look and deep, rich sound, the SpeckTone™ Retro is unlike anything out in the market and we are proud to offer customers a dynamic product at such an affordable price.”

Compact in size, yet big in sound, the SpeckTone™ Retro rocks hard and loud with a 28-watt output, 4” subwoofer for pumping bass, and two 3” drivers. The analog circuitry inside completes the retro spirit and sound of the product, producing rich, deep tones and blowing away all competitors in the sub-$200 price range.

SpeckTone™ Retro is available in 3 high-gloss lacquered finishes. Go totally retro with the signature green/brown color combo, keep it sleek and modern with the black-on-black, or pay homage to the ‘classic’ iPod look with the white and silver SpeckTone™ Retro. The integrated iPod dock supports the iPod video, iPod nano, 4G iPods (color and black & white), and iPod mini. iPod Shuffle or other portable devices such as CD players, tape decks or other digital audio players can be plugged in through the 1/8” AUX jack located on the back of the SpeckTone™ Retro. Product is currently shipping to consumers and retail partners with an MSRP of $149.95.
